This article reports on modified chitosan as an alternative substance for protecting loss of volatile compounds during freeze drying. Moisture sorption isotherms of freeze-dried D-limonene emulsions in modified chitosan ...

Our objective was to evaluate the effects of providing increasing levels of chitosan on nutrient digestibility, ruminal fermentation, blood parameters, nitrogen utilisation, microbial protein synthesis, and milk yield and ...

Chitosan and alginate nano-composite (NP) carriers intended for colonic delivery containing prednisolone and inulin were obtained by two processes. Spray freeze-drying using chitosan (SFDC) or alginate (SFDA) was proposed ...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of chitosan on dry matter intake (DMI), nutrient digestibility, ruminal fermentation, and blood metabolites in Nellore steers. Eight ruminally cannulated Nellore steers (540±28.5kg ...

The present work deals with the study of estradiol permeation in chitosan membranes. A fractional factorial design was built for the determination of the main factors affecting estradiol permeation. The independent factors ...

Chitosan (CHI), a non-toxic and biodegradable biopolymer has been successfully used in the food, human and veterinary medicine industries, especially because of its antimicrobial properties. This study aimed to investigate ...
